The Day Before - Emmett
Hunting after dark was the best. I didn't range far, but I managed to find a good herd of deer. Not my favorite, but if I plan my trajectory just right, I can land on two at once, breaking their spines but allowing their hearts to keep beating.
On deer, that was safe. Not so safe for a bear.
Sated, I ran home. Alice was in our room, Rose's and mine, planning our wardrobe for the next day.
"Come on, Alice!" I protested, shaking my head at the white corded sweater. "I'm gonna look like an effin' corpse."
"No no no. She'll think you're huge, you know. And powerful. So go with it."
I bit back a smile when my wife stiffened. "She's going to be staring at my husband? What kind of a slut...?"
"Not like that!" Alice said, hands up like a peacemaker. "No. She doesn't know he's married, in my vision. She just thinks he's huge. You can see it on her face." So she thought I'd be huge? A few guys-only things to say came to mind, but only Edward heard them.
Rosalie tossed her head, exposing her long throat. Damn, she knew that got me every time. I rolled my shoulders and her eyelids drooped a little.
Alice cleared her throat. "Fine. I'm going."
She turned off the light as she left our room. It didn't matter. We spent the rest of the night in the dark, Rose and I, but that never made any difference. I loved being a vampire.
Not all of us did. I heard Edward's window open and close as he left. Wish he had a mate of his own. Then he wouldn't have to go out so often.
End Note: Thanks so much for reading this miniseries!
More drabbles forthcoming...from wherever my imagination roams or where YOU give me suggestion! :) P.S. If you gave me a suggestion earlier this summer or before, please make it again. When the PM system changed...my brain melted! ~LJ
